In all seriousness it could definitely be phrased better - I'd go with "children under 15, and people who may become pregnant" and "all others" personally

Yeah, that is a lot better without the implication I'm just a gestation chamber, with the bonus trans erasure.

Is there any part of the Gow you would eat fish from?

No. I'm shocked there's anything alive in it at all besides those weird extremophile bacteria that live on pollutants and can't survive outside superfund sites.

I'm going to level with you my dude, I've never heard of Gowanus before, have no idea where or what it is, was too lazy to google it and was entirely going for a cheap anus joke.

I actually used to work at the old grain terminal that backs up against the Gowanus. There were a bunch of killfish in there, but I never saw anyone fishing for them. While I was working there, the Brooklyn PD thought that someone had thrown a murder weapon into the canal, so they sent divers down to check. They didn't find a gun, but they did find a foot of "viscous black jelly" covering the bottom of the canal, and the whole thing got declared a superfund site a couple years later.

Yeah, it's been a polluted hellpit since the 1800s.

EDIT: Here's a sentence pulled from the Wiki article that says it all, really: "Although the Gowanus Canal is poisonous to humans, it may be breeding previously unidentified types of organisms"

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I am unclear on whether "economic freedom" means markets are more "free" (aka more capitalist) or whether it means people have more freedom, economically (aka less capitalist).

It's a combination of a couple factors - (a) relative security against theft, fraud, corruption, etc whether as a result of norms or legal enforcement, which most people will agree is universally a good thing, and (b) freedom of capital like low taxes or regulatory burden, which is more of a political question and why these indexes tend to favor more "capitalist" countries.

Articulate your needs. I'm here to listen.

My first thought was that I didn't know if the point of 50/50 crossover was important in this context, but I don't see the issue with the graph itself showing it. Then I realized that there are two y-axes.

This chart has been recreated from a 1994 article that committed the exact same dual y axis sin (I mean, it would have to, how else would you come up with the "crossover" term except by plotting it bad?).

Can you imagine if "the terrible chart" was like the standard in your field, and decades later you constantly have to swallow your pride and reprint a version of it even though you know that it's wrong and bad but some moron decided it looked cool and you can't get anything published if you don't include it.

By my calculations, I could eat four hundred cherry tomatoes per day and achieve immortality, and it’s under twelve hundred kilocalories.

I could work with that.

I am very dubious of a chart that says french fries are healthy in anyway. They just as much oil as you can put onto the smallest amount of potato possible.

Also P&J sandwiches healthier than bananas, avocado or tomatoes. LOL.
